New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI) With less than two months to go for the Commonwealth Games, a Lok Sabha member today demanded that Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) should take steps on war footing to check spread of dengue in the national capital. "Over thousand cases of dengue have been reported from various hospitals in the capital," Congress member Jagdambika Pal said while raising the issue during the Zero Hour. As Commonwealth Games are round the corner, a large number of players and officials will visit the city, he said, adding, the MCD should take steps on "war footing" to check the mosquito menace. "It was unfortunate that dengue larvae were noticed near the headquarters of the MCD," he said. Sushil Kumar Singh (JD-U) alleged that the management of the Bokaro Steel Plant was deliberately keeping the production of steel low to help the private sector steel companies. He wanted the government to inquire from the management of the PSU steel unit as to why it was not producing steel up to its installed capacity. Sanjoy Takam (Cong) demanded that centre should clear the pending Rs 600 crore assistance to Arunachal Pradesh so that it can feed people under the Public Distribution System (PDS). Bhartruhari Mahtab (BJD) asked the centre to support states like Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal which are reeling under drought.
